“Fcking bitch,” Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good, says in the video.*
A newly released cellphone video, apparently filmed by the ICE officer who killed Renee Nicole Good, and obtained by Minneapolis-based Alpha News, a conservative-leaning nonprofit news site, appears to sharply contradict the U.S. government’s public account of the fatal Wednesday shooting, raising new questions about whether the agent who opened fire was ever in immediate danger.
The footage was recorded on a cellphone by ICE officer Jonathan Ross, not by a department body camera. It captures Ross’s own perspective as he approaches Good’s maroon Honda Pilot during what the Department of Homeland Security claims was a federal operation in south Minneapolis.
They are rather easy to get into this loop where they are getting more and more frustrated, since they are almost arguing with themselves. Even though they are also driven on feels and vibes in this mode, I still think they are more likely to have an original thought or question their feelings this way.
Going straight at them just has them yelling slogans and memes and jingoistic nonsense at you. They get to just reel off a playbook of whatever talking points du jour they’ve been programmed with.
Keeping cool and calm, never getting angry, never raising your voice, but looking them directly in the eyes and not taking the rage bait, and asking them questions about their assertions, their assumptions, and their feelings and their thought processes really puts them on the back foot.
Oh yes I’ve done that before too and it works wonders for me. One thing I enjoy doing is completely changing the subject when they are all hoped up on politics I like to just throw a random question like. “Did you try that new food truck in town?” Or something outa left field. And they just completely changed their attitude instantly. I swear I could probably be a good hypnotist in my town.
